129.
As of 2008 7th grade(My happiest time<3) IQ test, age 11.
I also took the ACT that year and scored 22, though I used creative guesstimated a good portion of it.

Pretty decent, I think.

Child: "high"
Grade 5: 160
High School: low
Adult: 60 and 140 (disparity from ASD symptoms at the time of the tests)

So..., pretty high when I'm by myself and pretty low when I'm out in the world.

Between 78-85, depending on the time and the test. In the one I took at 5 was 78 and it was 82 another time and the highest I scored was 85. While I did score 101 one time, that one is fake because the guy testing me cheated by giving me the answers. So, I don't even count that one.

Isn't it sad how we get thicker, in multiple ways, with age?

I agree here. FireBird wins this thread. (With a secondary win for whoever comes and starts explaining how IQ tests aren't actually that meaningful for for autistic people and things like that. I'll complain a little, but others can explain much better).

We should not be using IQ as a way to try to have people think they're better than others. Some of us have high IQs, some have lower IQs. There are advantages and disadvantages of both. But really what it comes down to is that we're all autistic people.

IQ tests aren't accurate for autistic people, having a higher IQ isn't the just better thing that people treat it like it is, many people don't have an accurate IQ test because of not having that happen to be done for them, and so on.

IQ testing can be meaningful and informative, but we really have no reason to obsess about IQ as a community this much.

Quite agree Tuttle - IQ scores don't make one better or worse people than others. And from personal experience I can say that having a high IQ but still being socially crippled can just make the experience more painful.

Someone else put it better than me, so I'll just quote them. Besides, I don't dare say anything in an IQ thread, in fear of getting caught in a web again.

Quote:

Actually, intelligence is 'the ability to learn or understand or to deal with new or trying situations'. Intelligence does not mean being knowledgeable. IQ score is just a rough measure of academic intelligence. Finding IQ not as high as hoped, should not be considered as an alarming situation. No one should be discouraged on this basis. There are many elements besides IQ which contribute to success and happiness.( source: http://www.buzzle.com/articles/average-iq-score.html )

I think you are, again, looking for a web to be caught in.
